State of Carlos Paper The state of Carlos enacted a statute requiring all trucks and towing trailers that use its highways to use a B-type truck hitch. This hitch is manufactured by only one manufacturer in Carlos. The result of this statute is that any trucker who wants to drive through Carlos must stop and have the new hitch installed, or drive around Carlos. The federal government has not made any attempt to regulate the truck hitches used on the nation’s highways. Tanya Trucker, who owns a trucking company in the state of Denial, is not happy about the additional expense this statute imposes on her business. She intends to file suit against Carlos to overturn the statute. As explained in the United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549 (1995), for nearly a century thereafter (that is, after Gibbons), the Court's Commerce Clause decisions dealt but rarely with the extent of Congress' power, and almost entirely with the Commerce. This reference to the United States Consitution, Article one, Section eight in which the powers of Congress are clearly defined contain the statements that would become know as the Commerce Clause in later years and is referenced above in relation to United States v. Lopez. The Commerce Clause Power is often amplified by the Necessary and Proper Clause which states this Commerce Clause power, and all of the other enumerated powers, may be implemented by the power "To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof." The Necessary and Proper Clause is the final clause of Article I, section 8. It must be noted, however; that the Constitution is clearer about the role of the Congress vis-a-vis interstate commerce in Article I, Section nine, Clauses
